Check alerts via SSH

Hi,
You may use the below API to get the alerts from ECS using the tool svc_rest_cmd

Example:
svc_rest_cmd /vdc/alerts

You may run the above command from any ECS node and it will list all alerts.

Another tool available in recent xdoctor (current version as of 24th APril 2023 is Xdoctor 4.8-90.1) is svc_alert.
